If we believe that G-d is in control and hears our prayers and that the Universe, at His Will, sends us what we need to hear, then my serendipitous find must be the message that I need to hear.
Clarity is always hard for me. I think all the time – consider, rationalize, absorb, observe, process, and feel. As an empath, if you are one, you absorb others’ pain and emotions and must try to block such strong feelings from overwhelming an already sensitive soul.
While cleaning thoroughly, I found an envelope with my first name on it. I knew it by heart – it was my mother’s handwriting.
Her words were meaningful and in this lonely, confusing world of mixed messages and unrealized potential or opportunities, it was helpful to have a shoulder to lean upon and know that someone cared so much about me.
This was written 15 years ago. That was a whirlwind time to be sure. We had just experienced a year of major household moves, change of schools and job, major medical concerns and surgeries, life changing concerns for our children…….
We rack up life experiences, memories, and battle scars. We carry burdens or dings to the heart and spirit, but we keep rising. Each day, we begin again, and try to do the best that we can. Some days, we want to stay in bed, and that is OK too. Restore, Recharge, Reveal, Re-examine, Review – whatever brings you peace and comfort has value.
I hope that this will bring you comfort as well.
